New King James Version

Isaiah 18:5-7 New King James Version (NKJV)

5. For before the harvest, when the bud is perfectAnd the sour grape is ripening in the flower,He will both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooksAnd take away and cut down the branches.

6. They will be left together for the mountain birds of preyAnd for the beasts of the earth;The birds of prey will summer on them,And all the beasts of the earth will winter on them.

7. In that time a present will be brought to the Lord of hostsFrom a people tall and smooth of skin,And from a people terrible from their beginning onward,A nation powerful and treading down,Whose land the rivers divideā€”To the place of the name of the Lord of hosts,To Mount Zion.
